So I'm online filling out a form for Farmer's Insurance Quote and of course you can't proceed without giving them your phone number. Within a 30 second window of clicking the last button I get a call from this number. I already assumed it was from their marketing center so I let it go to voice mail. I called my v.m. and low and behold, I was right. Good way NOT to get customers to sign up! I'll update post if I get anymore calls, which I probably will.

This is why it is sometimes a good idea to get a no-contract phone, and give out that number for contact purposes, leaving it turned off most of the time. Turn it on once every four hours and check for voice mails, and calling back. One of those no-contract phone companies gives 60 minutes over a 90-day time span for $19.99 plus sales tax, with upgrades to double minutes or even triple minutes.

Or you can get a pinger number for free
